Founded in 2023

Here In The Highlands is a field guide and lifestyle journal where we show you how to find a new rhythm, chase what moves you, and create a better life.

We believe that a sustainable life is a better life. With every adventure, story, and song, we cultivate a higher state of mind that nurtures the thoughts and work that sustain you;

We share stories and spread ideas for small changes that enable you to take courageous steps that remove obstacles to happiness; and

We help you discover the freedom to find your own rhythm, chase what moves you, and choose a path where you leave the past behind and thrive.

Find a new rhythm.

Create a happier life.
